Problem:
In many cases it is not possible to read/ display information for code combination e.g.
- All global forces and moments
- General pipe stress
- Displacements
Is it possible to do it?
Solution:
Yes and No.
At this time it is a manual process.
With a given model open, create an output report with Analysis Summary sub report check box enabled (checked On). This report will contain a subsection called "CODE COMPLIANCE COMBINATIONS "
Note: Common Abbreviations :
(SUS) - Maximum sustained stresses (all sustained cases)
(EXP) - Maximum thermal stress (all thermal cases)
(LONG) - Maximum Longitudinal pressure stress (all pressure cases)
(HOOP) - Maximum Hoop pressure stress (all pressure cases)
Here is the trick, when possible recreate these Code combinations as Non-Code combinations.
Open the combinations dialog and select the Non-Code combination tab, and add a new combination with the appropriate settings as required to match the Code combinations as shown in the report.
There are going to be some combinations that can not be re-created. For example, common abbreviation load cases list above are not available as a load case on the Non-code combination tab. Therefore any combination that uses one of these abbreviated load cases will not be able to be re-created.
